Welcome Back

Manuel Antonio Beach, Costa Rica

Greetings all! I hope you had as wonderful a holiday break as I did.

It’s been three weeks since I last walked the grounds of Northeastern (I know, a short winter break) and I finally feel fully rested after my crazy first semester.

Just as a quick wrap up: I spent the holidays visiting family in California for about a week before making my way to Panama and Costa Rica for two weeks of warm weather.  It was lovely to work on my tan before heading back to the full-on winter conditions in Boston.

Grades were posted just a couple of days after classes ended and I am happy to say I came out of this term with a 3.73 GPA.  I was actually pleasantly surprised with this GPA, but no complaints here.

While on break I received an e-mail from the Career Center that the Hasbro corporate residencies this year will be on a different timeline than previously anticipated.  In fact, job openings will be posted on January 6^th, resumes and cover letters are due to the Career Center by January 9^th and final applications to the positions are due the 11^th. Wish me luck!

 I also have my schedule for this semester, which is as follows:

You’ll notice we have seven classes this term, instead of the six we had last semester.  Combined with the stressors of our corporate residency search, the Marketing Club consulting project, my part-time job and classroom sessions to prepare for our international field study trip, this is going to be one crazy semester.

So take a deep breath and here we go…
